Shot taken from the east side of the airport about a one km away at 7pm, fighting for light.. Rain just starting to set in..Just waiting for the chance to shoot at night with the lights... Still under construction on the ground...will look great when complete. This airport is busy with lots of park and rides with parking right there.. Nothing is cheap anymore...

EDMONTON- Air traffic controllers in our city now have a new workplace. Edmonton International Airport’s new eight-story Central Tower officially opened Thursday morning.
A significant part of EIA’s Expansion 2012 project, the tower is the Capital Region’s newest landmark.
“The multifunctional building includes a new NAV CANADA control tower at the top and a new integrated baggage system at the bottom. That left space for retail and office space in the middle, which will be home to NAV CANADA, EIA and Canadian Helicopters offices,” said Reg Milley, EIA President and Chief Executive Officer.
With its wave-like ribbon exterior, the building is not just visually appealing. The tower uses many design elements that are environmentally friendly; so much so that EIA is seeking Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) silver certification for the tower.
“It’s not only aesthetically pleasing, but also from an environmental perspective (the ribbons) keep the sun out in the summer when it’s at its highest and strongest rays. And in the winter, because of the continuous windows we have, we get great lighting. So it’s very, very energy efficient,” Milley explained.
